Bad either way. If he sticks with Biden, the human gaffe machine will just continue to suffer from chronic foot in mouth disease.

If he cans Biden and goes with Hillary, his decision making ability will be in question big time. The GOP will eat him alive in showing how his lack of experience and poor judgement will be dangerous in this country.

“It’s a slap in the face,” Buell said. “Why would they put somebody that was so clearly ineffective in such a position? It’s a message. We get it.” She said it was a “calculated decision” by the Obama team to “send a message that she [Clinton] is not being considered for the ticket.”

Desperation may lead him to consider this, but by that point his campaign will be so sunk that Hillary is very unlikely to accept because the campaign is already going down in flames. Leaving who as the likely Democratic nominee in 2012

Besides, he damn well better not. The only reason I voted for him in the primaries was to get rid of the Clintons.

If it happens, it will be Biden coming up with some excuse as to why he has to step aside. That goes pretty much without saying. Obama will not fire him. If something bad really were to happen to Biden, Obama might take the opportunity to dump him.

I still find it hard, at this point, for him to pick Hillary and have her accept. What other women are options? I would put them ahead of Hillary. Another option is an hispanic. Bill Richardson anyone? That wouldn't be so blatantly pandering as picking the 2nd woman this election cycle and could be spun as a new first.

Either way, it's not good for the Obama team.

Whatta ya' know,
We finally agree on something

If Obama were to pick Hillary, it would most definitely energize the remaining holdouts of the Republican base that would come out to donkey punch her down. I know a ton of people who voted for Obama in the primaries only to get rid of Hillary. Now they will vote for McCain/Palin.

With either scenario, it's not good for Obama. The only way he can win is he (and all of the dyed in the wool liberals) stops attacking Palin, refocuses on his message, and ignore Palin as if she wasn't there. We all know that ain't gonna happen, so I think Obama's numbers will continue to tank. By Halloween, he will be as popular as a "Frank the Tank streaking" costume.

She's smarter than that. The accident or crazy swastki tatooed assassin with a Rush Limbaugh book in his pocket wouldn't happen until after the 2nd year. That way Hillary could serve as President for 10 years and not 8.

I said the very same thing to my wife a few months back.
Remember Vince Foster ?

I'm not an "R" or a "D". I simply want a President with sound qualifications and some integrity. Neither one of our candidates have enough of either for my liking.

You beat me to the response WW.

I just know what I want, and neither one of these guys can provide it. So yeah,,, I'm a little disappointed in my choices in this election.

Who ever has? What person would be your #1 choice of people that actually want to be President? I hate them all is the easy position. Who doesn't?

Must you always be contrary?!?!?

Hannity is talking about it.... We don't think it will work because we don't like hillary. If you like Hillary, well then that's another story.

I'd bet on these things.

Race Riots

P.o.t.u.s. assasination attempts

Hillary getting on this ticket.

In that order.

I'm sure about the race riots. I got a piece of a news segment which black leaders are predicting it now. I think they are stirring the pot and playing on white's fear of blacks. I think they are hoping some whites vote for him so the natives don't get restless.

It isn’t over for Hillary yet is it? If Obama dumps Biden for Hillary, he better have an official food taster and wear a bullet proof vest, even in the shower.

She will feel emboldened and will stop at nothing if the opening is presented.

I almost feel for Obama. He made a terrible mistake in taking an old guard politician when his hollow message was change. This didn’t fit well, and cast real doubt on this wisdom.

Then if he picks Hillary to try to right the ship, he has Hillary AND Bill sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Even if he wins the election, they will work to marginalize him as quickly as possible because they are not going to play second fiddle.

It is a brutally difficult situation that is revealing the real Obama.

Do you mind sharing? Stick you neck out of your shell just a bit and tell us who you would want. You're not a Nader guy are you? Bob Barr? Edwards? Biden? You were a Rudy guy like me, weren't you?

FYI. Just about everybody is disappointed by their choices in every election, but you can't ask for two candidates that are farther apart on 90% of the issues. If it wasn't for that other 10%, I'd like McCain. However, with the Palin pick, he suggests that 10% won't dominate his Presidency and definitely won't send the party in the wrong direction after him.

It's easy to be against everything. That will just make you a bitter old man.
